Silencer elements, by analogy to enhancer elements, function independently of their position and orientation. We show that the chicken lysozyme silencer S-2.4 kb has many other characteristics in… (More)

We have identified 2 olfactory specific proteins in the gypsy moth Lymantria dispar that are uniquely associated with the male antennae, the principal olfactory organs of this animal. These proteins… (More)

Inhibition of gene transcription is brought about by several mechanisms. The least understood mechanism is probably silencing, the analogue to transcriptional enhancing. We provide evidence that the… (More)

Cultured keratinocytes are frequently employed for studies of epidermal lipid metabolism. Interpretation of experimental data may be complicated by donor to donor variability, the relatively short… (More)

Members of the steroid receptor superfamily, like other transcription factors, can function as transcriptional inducers as well as repressors of transcription. The mechanisms by which repression is… (More)

One of the chicken lysozyme gene silencers binds two transcription factors, v-ERBA or the thyroid hormone receptor and NeP1 (negative protein 1), a new silencer binding protein. NeP1 is neutral on a… (More)
